Understand The Dream Is Over

First off, RIP Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. I shan't dwell on these, they speak for themselves.

Secondly, a friend of mine has helped me realise, inadvertently, that I am doing no favours clinging onto the past. All that said, I am not about to throw it away and deny its existence. She is doing something very hard in trying to move on in life with a broken heart. And she is feeling slightly better day by day, by not dwelling. So I am going to stop looking at the past, and stop hoping for the future, live day for day, and if good things return, they return. If they don't, I will find a way to cope. To this friend, anonymous as I don't want to name anybody here, thank you, I hope things get better for you, and I look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks. Whilst I am starting to believe this blog title, the album from which it comes "Emotion is Dead", the sophomore from the fantastic band 'The Juliana Theory' who I had the honour of see perform on their last ever UK tour back in 2006, I feel is not true. As far as I am concerned; emotion is well and truly NOT dead.

Finally tonight, Less Than Zero, one of my favourite novels I have read recently. I watched the film adaptation tonight. I thought it was a very good film. Not a very good novel adaptation though. The cast was entirely wrong, except Downey Jr. and the guy who played Rip. They were perfect. Clay was too different from the book, and the focus was shifted. It was on Julians spiralling rather than Clay's emptiness. The book and the film will remain as two seperate entities in my head I feel. As a film I'd give it a solid 74% rating.

Well, I had a lot to say tonight. V is responsible for me not saying much here, she has been a very useful ear. So that's all.
